Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Citas

• Usted debe entender, los principales bolcheviques que se apoderaron de Rusia no eran rusos. Odiaban a los rusos. Odiaban a los cristianos. Impulsados por el odio étnico torturaron y masacraron a millones de rusos sin una pizca de remordimiento humano. No se puede exagerar. El bolchevismo cometió la mayor matanza humana de todos los tiempos. El hecho de que la mayor parte del mundo sea ignorante e indiferente ante este enorme crimen es prueba de que los medios de comunicación mundiales están en manos de los perpetradores.

• What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?

• If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible what was the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men had forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.'

• La fuerza o la debilidad de una sociedad depende más del nivel de su vida espiritual que de su grado de industrialización. Ni la economía de mercado ni siquiera la abundancia general constituyen la coronación de la vida humana. Si las energías espirituales de una nación se han agotado, no la salvará del colapso ni la estructura de gobierno más perfecta ni ningún desarrollo industrial. Un árbol con el corazón podrido no puede mantenerse en pie.

• To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.

• Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.

• Ojalá todo fuera tan sencillo. Si sólo hubiera personas malvadas en algún lugar cometiendo insidiosamente actos malvados, y sólo fuera necesario separarlas del resto de nosotros y destruirlas. Pero la línea que divide el bien y el mal atraviesa el corazón de todo ser humano. ¿Y quién está dispuesto a destruir un trozo de su propio corazón?

• Oímos un clamor constante por los derechos, los derechos, siempre los derechos, pero muy poco sobre la responsabilidad. Y nos hemos olvidado de Dios.

• I hope that no one present will suspect me of offering my personal criticism of the Western system to present socialism as an alternative. Having experienced applied socialism in a country where the alternative has been realized, I certainly will not speak for it. The well-known Soviet mathematician Shafarevich, a member of the Soviet Academy of Science, has written a brilliant book under the title Socialism; it is a profound analysis showing that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.

• Al guardar silencio sobre el mal, al enterrarlo tan profundamente dentro de nosotros que no aparece ningún signo de él en la superficie, lo estamos implantando, y se multiplicará por mil en el futuro. Cuando no castigamos ni reprochamos a los malhechores... estamos arrancando los cimientos de la justicia bajo las nuevas generaciones.

• La naturaleza humana está llena de enigmas... uno de esos enigmas es: ¿cómo es que las personas que han sido aplastadas por el peso de la esclavitud y arrojadas al fondo del pozo pueden, sin embargo, encontrar fuerzas en sí mismas para levantarse y liberarse primero en espíritu y luego en cuerpo, mientras que los que se elevan sin trabas sobre las cumbres de la libertad pierden de repente el gusto de la libertad, pierden la voluntad de defenderla y, irremediablemente confundidos y perdidos, casi empiezan a desear la esclavitud?".
